William Stafford (courtier)
Sir William Stafford, of Chebsey, in Staffordshire (c. 1508 - 5 May 1556) was an Essex landowner and the second husband of Mary Boleyn, who was the sister of Anne Boleyn and one-time mistress of King Henry VIII of England.

The purpose of the journey was for Henry and his fiancée, Anne Boleyn, to meet with Francis I so that he might show his pu ...
